Chapter 130: The History of the Cheng Family
"I said, I said!" Cheng Ziming said busily, his expression was extremely respectful.
Next, he gave a general account of the demonic Dao exercises he cultivated, as well as his grievances and entanglements with Hao Ren.
It turned out that he was originally a large family in Zhao State, and he had been a businessman for generations, and he had a large manor in Biluo Lake in Zhao State, called Biluo Villa. The mountain villa is rich in mulberry silkworms, the silk is woven out of the silk called Biluo silk, the silk is fine and smooth, there is a faint blue wave sparkling on it, it is called Biluo silk, it is a major local specialty.
Biluo Villa made a fortune by planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and it was rich and comfortable for generations, and it would have been passed on so steadily, but when it came to Cheng Ziming's generation, he accidentally found a Biluo silk handkerchief left by his ancestors in his cellar, and accidentally cut his finger at that time, dripping blood, and as a result, something that made him stunned happened, and a treasure map appeared on the handkerchief.
Cheng Ziming is good at everything, handsome and golden, erudite and talented, and there are three beautiful ladies at home, and the three ladies have just given birth to three daughters for him, which can be described as happy and healthy.
But people are so strange, too comfortable but not satisfied, Cheng Ziming before he saw the treasure map, he always felt that there was something missing in his life, as soon as he saw the treasure map, he immediately realized that he was living too comfortably, the family business left by his ancestors was too stable, and there was a lack of excitement and change in his life.
So he alienated the three beautiful ladies, locked himself in the study for a month, found out all the geographical atlases of the mountains and rivers of Zhao Kingdom, studied the location of the treasure map, and finally found that the treasure location was actually very close. It's at the bottom of Biluo Lake, but the map shows a hill, and the surrounding landscape has not changed. Only the hill had turned into a blue lake, so he didn't realize it was the treasure hiding place at first.
Now he was shocked to find that the hill had become Biluo Lake, either the map was drawn incorrectly, or the map was correct, and it was indeed the hill that became Biluo Lake.
After much verification, he finally determined that the map was correct. The question then becomes, what is it that makes the hill a lake, and what kind of treasure is hidden in the location shown in the treasure map?
Cheng Ziming was suspicious. It is difficult to sleep and eat, but he is not an ordinary person, he has been well-educated and has read books since he was a child. I finally found my childhood memories in the depths of my impressions. It seems that in the mezzanine of the genealogy, a history of family migration was read, which mentioned the correspondence between a generation of ancestors and an old friend.
An old friend said: Today, a northern high-roller came, spending ten gold to hire people to dig the hills, as if to build a mountain villa, the surrounding villagers rushed to tell each other, bee chrysalis joined, such a good thing. The younger brother didn't dare to be alone, so he asked the elder brother to come with his wife and children. Join together.
The ancestors of the Cheng family happily went, and the Cheng family was still very poor at that time, but since they went, it didn't take long for them to become rich, and they also built a mountain villa on Biluo Mountain, and the old friend was nowhere to be found, and the letter was interrupted. But what Cheng Ziming can be sure of is that it was what happened that year that caused the hill to become Biluo Lake, and the Cheng family has since made a fortune.
After this discovery, he was itchy and scratchy, and if he didn't solve this mystery, it could be said that he would not be happy for the rest of his life, so he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to measure and salvage Biluo Lake, and it took three years to find nothing.
Cheng Ziming was depressed for a while, and then thought that he had to go to the books handed down by his ancestors to find clues, so he went to find all the places mentioned in the codex of his ancestors, and finally found a long-abandoned cave in a barren mountain somewhere in Zhao Kingdom, where he obtained a set of cultivation exercises left by his ancestors, which was the set of demonic exercises!
This made Cheng Ziming very happy, and immediately started practicing, and soon his skills improved rapidly, with some strange magic powers, he wanted to explore the bottom of the lake alone, who knew that when he dived more than ten zhang underwater, he immediately felt a huge resistance, no matter how he paddled the water, it was difficult to take half a step, and he had no choice but to return to the water.
He thinks that his skills are still shallow, and the demon Dao technique left by his ancestor is the key to taking the treasure, and he must practice to the depths before he can sneak into the treasure spot, and there will definitely be a bigger surprise waiting for him.
After making up his mind, he felt that staying in the villa any longer, entangled by worldly things, would definitely delay the progress of his cultivation, so he left a letter to his wife and daughter, saying that he would go out to visit friends, and come back in three years at the earliest, or five years at the latest.
Carrying his bags alone, he went to a place of cultivation mentioned by his ancestor in the secret book - an ancient battlefield, where there were many dead people and the yin qi was thick, which was a good place to practice the Demon Dao exercises.
Originally, he just wanted to come back after five years of seclusion, but who knew that if he didn't practice the Demon Dao Exercises, he would improve by leaps and bounds as soon as he practiced, and there were all kinds of incredible wonders, not to mention that cultivating on that ancient battlefield was like a fish in water, and he soon reached the fifth level of Qi refining, and mastered the art of refining demon corpses, so he delayed for three more years.
When he consciously cultivated and was about to go home to explore the treasure at the bottom of the lake, he went mad one night when refining the demon corpse, and was devoured by the demon corpse.
What scared him even more was that he had begun to have feminine tendencies, the Adam's apple disappeared, his beard fell out, his chest bulged, and his speech became sharper, which made him dare not go back to face the three ladies at all, just because he was very arrogant, and his cultivation actually made himself a man and a woman, wouldn't it be a big shame?
So he devoted himself to studying the method of cracking it, and searched for a panacea, and finally figured out that Zhenyuan had taken a fork in the road and strayed into a certain place in the dantian, which aroused female characteristics. As long as you take the elixir that you are looking for, go against the luck of the true yuan, and return the true yuan that has taken a fork in the road to the dantian, you will recover the male body.
He was ecstatic, and after making all the preparations, he went into retreat, who knew that Hao Ren was also looking for a method to prolong his life nearby at that time, and he also wanted to get his hands on the elixir, but he was a step too late and was obtained by Cheng Ziming. Hao Ren is such a vicious person, so he followed him quietly, although Cheng Ziming is smart, but after all, he has less experience in the rivers and lakes, it is not as if Hao Ren has taken it away once, and he eats more salt than he eats rice.
The result can be imagined, just when Cheng Ziming was about to break through successfully, Hao Ren, who had been hidden for a long time, suddenly appeared, and burst his body with a sneer, and was about to rob him of his demonic exercises. Fortunately, Cheng Ziming mastered several secret techniques of the Demon Dao, and when he landed, he turned his soul into demonic qi and flew out, possessed himself on the demon corpse he refined, and fought back desperately against Hao Ren.
After a big battle, Hao Ren's vitality was greatly lost, Cheng Ziming's demon corpse was also destroyed, and he was caught by Hao Ren and locked up in a magic weapon. Originally, Hao Ren wanted to kill his soul after torture, but Cheng Ziming saw through Hao Ren's weakness and offered to take out the Demon Dao Exercises in exchange for helping him prolong his life. Hao Ren was moved, so he agreed, and since then he has taken him with him, and this area is five years.
During this period, Cheng Ziming wanted to escape several times, but his body was destroyed, and his cultivation also dropped greatly, so he had no chance at all, so he had to endure it, hide in the magic weapon and concentrate on cultivation, and patiently wait for the opportunity for revenge.
This opportunity finally appeared when Zhang Di and Hao Ren were fighting, so there were those things that followed. (To be continued......)
